SAMSKARAS
You create a recorded memory of
that action, a saṁskāra. A saṁskāra
is not merely a dead memory
stored in your unconscious mind; it
has the power to make you repeat
that action again and again till the
desire is fulfilled. Please be very

because it has the power to make
you repeat the same action again
and again as a pattern.
It can make you travel the same
path over and over again.
that is why saṁskāras are called
engraved memories, the root
thought patterns. The more you
travel on a path, the more it will be
strengthened.
